# Authentication

PelPay integrations has been simplified and made seamless. It is as simple as copying our sample codes and changing the required parameters to suit your needs.

The first step is to initiate a login with the **Login** endpoint. A token will be generated at a successful response.

### LOGIN <a href="#login" id="login"></a>

`POST` `https://api.pelpay.ng/api/Account/login`

The token generated will be used to make any other request to the gateway.

Bearer {Token}

**Request Body**

| Name           | Type   | Description                  |
| -------------- | ------ | ---------------------------- |
| clientId\*     | String | Required client `Id`         |
| clientSecret\* | String | Required client `secret key` |
